I had a similar numbering problem yesterday with one file out of 18 in a book. (Must be the phase of the moon or something causing all these numbering problems at once, huh?)
I'm using continued paragraph numbering in sub-chapter files. All of the files in one section of the book worked except one. No matter what I did, the first heading in that file stayed at 0.1 (heading text). It should have been 4.7 (heading text) Retagging did not work, nor did re-importing all of the formatting parameters into the file. Copying the text into a new doc also did not work. At that point, I assumed there was something hidden in the text that was causing the problem. The only solution I could find was to delete the first heading, manually reenter the text, and retag the heading. So, my question to the list is: What can cause a heading to become corrupt? I forgot to mention that these files are imported from Word. But remember, all of them worked except one.

To solve it, I turned on all conditions and paragraph tags. I noticed that on the section that wasn't numbering correctly, there was a weird symbol. So I converted the heading to Body tag, saved the file, then re-applied the proper style. It fixed the problem.

It is set to autonumber according to the following format: S:Section <$chapnum>\=<n+>\sm. I have this tag set to start at the top of page and I auto-apply a Custom Master Page to the page that uses this Section ID. This page is named SectionDivider. For sections 1 through 3, it is working just beautifully - I get a page with Section 7-1, a page with section 7-2 and page with Section 7-3. Now, all of a sudden, when I go to apply this tag to a page, the numbering is being reset to 7-1 and it won't change. After counting beautifully to 7-3, all I get no matter where I apply this tag after Section 7-3 is Section 7-1. I don't get 7-4, 7-5, etc. and I am beyond stumped. If I had messed with the paragraph numbering to restart, then ALL the tags should be appearing as Section 7-1, but like I said, 7-1 through 7-3 is working as expected. Help - I am stumped and I don't know how to begin to troubleshoot this. I swear I am working with Word numbering! thanks, TVB Tammy Van Boening Senior Technical Writer Jeppesen Sanderson, Inc. 303-328-4420 tammy.vanboening at jeppesen.com _______________________________________________
